VIDEO: The Erratic Man – Back In The Day

• 19th Sep 2012

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet The Erratic Man, a.k.a Infadels & Rinocerose frontman Bnann. The Erratic Man is Bnann’s vehicle for a clutch of “pop songs with Junk Pop production” written and conceived throughout his eclectic musical career.

Born in Norwich, but a citizen of Bethnal Green, Bnann has been a dedicated musical prodigy since the age of 5, when he played ukelele at a New Year’s Eve Party. Since then he’s been inspired by Gino Washington and Jarvis Cocker, written with all manner of musical cohorts and fronted three wildly different bands.

The Erratic Man’s first single – ‘Back In The Day’ – was written entirely on a bedroom studio setup and inspired by the birth of a child in all probability conceived in that same bedroom.

Bnann Junior’s arrival had an enormous, uplifting effect on the new papa and Bnann simply wrote his emotions down and set them to a breezy, horn-heavy soundtrack.. Add Infadels bandmate Matt to the mix and we have an infectious pop single any son would be proud of.

‘Back In The Day’ is released on September 24th via Worker Records. The accompanying video features a lively choir of stuffed animals and has so far had over 100,000 views on YouTube. You can even submit your own pet for inclusion.

Other forthcoming songs from The Erratic Man include ‘Under My Radar’ (written with Rob Davis of ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ fame), ‘I Saw You Last Night’ (produced by Alex Metric using only a Casio keyboard) and ‘Everybody Knows’ (written with legendary Verve producer Tim Bran).
You can buy the single direct from ITunes here.

Like all the best junk shop finds, The Erratic Man is one of life’s simple pleasures, all the sweeter for being stumbled upon.

As Edwyn Collins once said: “I’m gonna grab some food now. Nice to meet you I think.”
